Core Synergy's CEO, Michael DiSabato, is a former Ohio State student-athlete and an admirer of all the good things Jim Tressel did for the community, especially military families.

Major Mendoza, a 1993 Big Ten runner-up wrestler and teammate of DiSabato at Ohio State, was killed in action on Nov. 14, 2005 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
